PROTOTYPE DEVELOPMENT

Almost every client should start with a prototype of their app. You app will be on the market quicker, you reduce risk and advantageously increase odds of getting funded.

Quicker rate to market and ability to release a beta version of your app to friends, colleagues and potential clients will provide you with a wealth of feedback. You are building your customer base and receiving feedback that should be incorporated back into your app.

Your risk is tremendously reduced as your development investment and resources are lower. With much less effort you are able to test the market and confirm that your idea and concept is moving in the right direction. It's more cost effective and more productive to change gears in the early part of the development. Application that you can download and evaluate from a customer perspective often will spark creative ideas or bring out misconceptions that might be easily corrected.

Individuals and start-ups that are looking for funding will quickly realize that a simple prototype app that investors can look at, will go a long way in securing capital. Instead of having a concept, you now have a product that investors can look at and use. To investors you will display your ability to execute and deliver.

Statistics in the software development world state that as much as 64% of features are rarely or never used. A prototype that that is developed with precise concentration on 20% to 40% of frequently used features can be a fully viable product.
